The System Improvements softball team faced its toughest challenge yesterday but escaped with a 17-14 victory. The game lasted 6 innings, 2 longer than Team TapRooT® had played in any game this year due to mercy rules. Despite playing with only 9 players (instead of the normal 10) , the team was able to post just enough offense and timely defense to earn the win. With the game on the line in the bottom of the 6th inning and time expiring, they were able to retire their opponents 1-2-3 and save their chances at a perfect season.
